Nigerian Asylum Seeker, 27, Kills a Swiss Worker…Arrested in Train Station at Bern for MURDER

*Earlier escaped to Germany, Threatens Deceased for Relationship and Sex Severally

* ‘He Savagely STABBED his victim, Soopika P., repeatedly in the Head, Neck and Upper Body. The young woman was left with no chance of survival’-SWISS POLICE

*Secret Camera exposed suspect’s Criminality, Bestiality and Inhuman Treatment of victim

BY KANAYO ILUPETA/DEPUTY CRIME EDITOR, EUROPE & GEORGE ELIJAH OTUMU, FOREIGN BUREAU CHIEF, UNITED STATES

A NIGERIAN jobless immigrant, Chinedu Ogechukwu, who arrived Switzerland illegally and sought Asylum as a refugee had been arrested for the murder of Soopika P., a Swiss national asylum aide worker who recently had a nose-dive relationship with her former boyfriend, a German and decided to move on with her life.

Our correspondent gathered that this 27 year old Nigerian migrant has been arrested in Switzerland after murdering a 22-year-old asylum home worker in Germany and then fleeing the country. Chinedu was arrested last Tuesday at a train station in the Swiss city of Bern after a Europe-wide arrest warrant was issued for him immediately he fled Ahaus where the murder occurred.

Chief prosecutor Martin Botzenhardt said, “The prosecutor’s office ordered the European-wide call for arrest on the basis of the existing national arrest warrant. The arrest of the suspect in Switzerland is a quick success. The prosecutor’s office in Münster has initiated the formal extradition request. The murder commission will not question the suspect until after his arrival in Germany.”

According to police, the 27-year-old savagely stabbed his victim, identified as Soopika P., repeatedly in the head, neck and upper body. The young woman was left with no chance of survival.

German tabloid Bild reports Soopika was well known in Ahaus and was popular. One of her friends told the paper, “Many knew her, she was a really nice girl because her own family comes from India and she has very good English, she has been involved in refugee aid.”

The motive for the crime was likely sexual desire as authorities noted the asylum seeker had repeatedly tried to get in contact with Soopika. The attraction was not mutual according to one of the victim’s friends who said she had no interest in a relationship as she had just broken up with her boyfriend.

The case of Soopika’s murder is just the latest of a number of murders of women who have worked with asylum seekers. The most famous case in Germany was that of Maria Ledenburger who was raped and killed by a 17-year-old Afghan asylum seeker on her way home. Like Soopika, Ladenburger also volunteered her time helping asylum seekers.

A similar murder also occurred in Sweden last year when a Somali migrant stabbed asylum centre worker Alexandra Mezher to death in a home for underage migrants. The asylum seeker turned out not to be underage after police investigated his background leading many to question the methods used by the Swedish government to determine the actual age of migrants.

Austria also saw a migrant murder a woman who was trying to help him last year. An American working in Vienna was strangled to death by a Gambian migrant in her apartment after letting him stay there to avoid deportation. He was also captured in Switzerland after fleeing the country.

BY GEORGE ELIJAH OTUMU/FOREIGN BUREAU CHIEF, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

THEY ARE THREE NIGERIANS, resident in Republic of South Africa. They are jobless with criminal instincts whose stock in trade for years was to commit mail fraud, wire fraud, and bank fraud, conspiracy to commit identity theft, access device fraud, and theft of U.S. government funds. Their names are Oladimeji Seun Ayelotan, a-30year, facing 95 years in prison, Rasaq Aderoju Raheem, 31, found Guilty for Identity Theft, Stealing American Government funds to Face 115 years in prison and Femi Alexander Mewase, 45, facing 25 years in Prison. The trio that has brought shame and opprobrium to Africa’s most populous black nation were extradited from South Africa to the Southern District of Mississippi two years ago, but early this month they were convicted by a federal jury for their wide-ranging Internet fraud schemes.

In a press statement issued through Office of Public Affairs by Department of Justice on its website on Wednesday, February 8, 2017, the Acting Assistant Attorney General Kenneth A. Blanco of the Justice Department’s Criminal Division and U.S. Attorney Gregory K. Davis of the Southern District of Mississippi made the announcement.

The statement reads that: “Oladimeji Seun Ayelotan, 30, was convicted of conspiracy to commit mail fraud, wire fraud, and bank fraud, conspiracy to commit identity theft, access device fraud, and theft of U.S. government funds, two counts of mail fraud, and conspiracy to commit money laundering. Ayelotan faces up to 95 years in prison. Rasaq Aderoju Raheem, 31 was convicted of conspiracy to commit mail fraud, wire fraud, and bank fraud, conspiracy to commit identity theft, access device fraud, and theft of U.S. government funds, three counts of mail fraud, and conspiracy to commit money laundering. Raheem faces up to 115 years in prison.

Mewase faces up to 25 years in prison. Sentencing for all three is set for May 24 in the Southern District of Mississippi.”

Trial testimony and evidence were presented in the three-week trial, the defendants participated in numerous complex Internet-based financial fraud schemes, including romance scams, re-shipping scams, fraudulent check scams, and work-at-home scams, as well as bank, financial, and credit card account takeovers.

The statement states: “From as early as 2001, the defendants identified and solicited potential victims through online dating websites and work-at-home opportunities. In some instances, the defendants carried on fictitious online romantic relationships with victims for the purpose of using the victims to further objectives of the conspiracy. For example, the defendants convinced victims to ship and receive merchandise purchased with stolen personal identifying information (PII) and compromised credit card and banking information, to deposit counterfeit checks, to withdraw money from fraudulent pre-paid debit cards that were loaded with money from stolen credit cards and to transfer proceeds of the conspiracy via wire, U.S. mail, or express delivery services.

“About 21 Defendants who are friends, relations of these three Nigerian criminals were charged on offenses related to conspiracy charges which they agreed. The statement elucidates: “A total of 21 defendants were charged in this case.

Susan Anne Villeneuve, 49, of California, is awaiting trial.

“U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and the U.S. Postal Inspection Service investigated the case. Significant assistance was also provided by the Criminal Division’s Office of International Affairs, the HSI Cyber Crimes Center, HSI Attachés in Pretoria, South Africa and Dakar, Senegal, the U.S. Marshals Service’s International Investigations Branch and the Southern District of Mississippi District Office, the South African Police Service (SAPS) Directorate of Priority Crimes Investigation (DPCI) Electronic Crimes Unit, the SAPS Interpol Extradition Unit, the South African National Prosecution Authority and the South African Department of Justice and Constitutional Development. Trial Attorney Conor Mulroe of the Criminal Division’s Organized Crime and Gang Section, Senior Counsel Peter Roman of the Criminal Division’s Computer Crime and Intellectual Property Section, and Assistant U.S. Attorney Annette Williams of the Southern District of Mississippi tried the case.”

Italian Police Busts, Arrest Nigerian Couple for Human Trafficking…Forces Under-age girls into Prostitution

*Seizes their International Traveling Passports

*Compels Victims to Swear Voodoo Oath

*Lives Luxury Lifestyles, Drive Expensive Cars

BY VALERIE KOFI, CRIME WRITER/Reporting from ITALY

THEY ARE NIGERIAN COUPLE. Their names are Michael Uyi Aigieator, 34, and Pamela Aigieator, 27. They live in Cagliari in Italy. They are notoriously known and hailed by few African communities in this surrounding as ‘sharp business-couple’ believed to be very rich. These couple are from Mid-western part of Nigeria, Edo State. Before now, they are seeing as ‘International business couple.’ But just as lies could run for long, yet truth reveals all that are hidden under the darkness, their fake lifestyles, inhuman criminal behaviour, indecent source of livelihood and blood money has been revealed after their arrest by eagle-eyes Italian police.

In a joint operation of police team on Thursday, March 2, Uyi and his wife-in-crime Pamela were arrested and ‘smoked-out’ from their hideout in a nearby restaurant in Cagliari. They were arrested, handcuffed after 2 hours of hide-and seek game.

They were for trafficking Nigerian women to Italy for prostitution. Uyi and Pamela’s properties were confiscated by the Italian Government as proceeds from crime. Their illicit properties include choice buildings in Cagliari and various state-of-the-art automobiles. The couples promised to cooperate with Italian investigators as they were ready to confess.

Their arrest were corroborated by other media reports which claims the couple would subject their victims to voodoo rites after which they were forced into prostitution. Eventually, Italian Police freed the under-age Nigerian girls, who were victims of the couple suspected of people trafficking against their will and aiding illegal immigration aggravated by placing people at risk of their lives in unseaworthy boats. These victims are being assisted for Asylum procession in Italy.

We are following this development and would keep you informed.

DUPED AMERICAN LADY CRIES OUT:

‘Nigerian Man, Inyang Obaten Ettah Lied on GOD, Deceived Me to get GREEN CARD and Dumped Me’ – Deborah Hendrickson

…Petitions FRAUD DIVISION in United States Citizenship and Immigration Services

* ‘I Never Enjoyed My Marriage for ONE DAY’ * ‘Sacrificed Myself, Submitted Inyang’s Immigration paperwork to USCIS, Got Approval’ * ‘He Showed Up when I-751-Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence Arrived’ * ‘Shocked to Discover he’s an Illiterate that couldn’t Enroll in College’ * ‘Got him a Job in Danville, VA, Sacked for Incompetence and Profane language’ * ‘I Never Enjoyed Good Marriage, but was Marriage-Fraud’ * ‘Out of Love I Mailed his Permanent Resident card to Him, He Blocked me on Social Media’ * ‘He Signed our Divorce Papers, now Married to another Woman, Eyeing Citizenship Status’ *PLUS How he Pretends to be an Active Volunteer Worker in Winners Chapel, Ota

BY GEORGE ELIJAH OTUMU/FOREIGN BUREAU CHIEF/UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

HER NAME IS DEBORAH HEBRICKSON, a Black American from Danville, an independent city in the Commonwealth of Virginia with the population of 43,055. The city is bounded by Pittsylvania County, Virginia and Caswell County, North Carolina. This 51 year old godly lady felt she had found a life partner, a genuine husband with whom she would spend the rest of life, not knowing her encounter with Inyang Obaten Ettah, 36years old man notoriously called ‘Tony Ettah’ from Akwa Ibom way back in June 2010 in Nigeria would be her greatest regret. Not only did he deceive her, made her spend her life savings to file for his immigration papers, but he broke her heart eventually with no single day of happiness; only to later marry another woman in the end in Atlanta, Georgia.

Unedited, we present you her written petition in her own statement to the Fraud Division of United States Citizenship and Immigration Services where she is presently fighting to ensure Inyang is found guilty to have committed marriage fraud, denied American citizenship and be deported:

HER ENTIRE STORY:

“I don’t know where to start . . . I guess I’ll start with meeting Inyang Obaten Ettah, AKA Tony Ettah back in June 2010, we met through a friend of mine named, Charles. I’ve been visiting Nigeria since 2008, had an NGO there (Open Arms International) that never really got started, I know lots of people in Nigeria, Rich & Poor.
“I thought I was savvy when it came to the Romance Scammers, the 419ers, but, I was not prepared for how Inyang Obaten Ettah PLAYED ME, yes, I did inquire about Inyang via Charles, Charles vouched for Inyang’s authenticity (so HE THOUGHT) because Charles knew Inyang for 10 years (at that time – June 2010), there is where it began.

“Once Inyang contacted me, we talked, when Inyang told me his age (36 at that time) I was 51, immediately, I hung up on him, he called back thinking we got disconnected, I explained to Inyang that he was way out of my age range and I KNOW the culture in Nigeria of Older, especially AMERICAN WOMEN and younger Nigerian Men, for weeks I ignored his calls, till finally he begged me to just “talk to him,” which I did – WRONG FOR ME, but, too late. Inyang talked that sweet talk (I can say that now), he saw I was a Christian and began to use that to his Advantage, I asked Inyang “why won’t he leave me alone?” Finally he said “Because GOD SAID YOU ARE MY WIFE so I am pursuing you.” Those words took me off guard because NEVER had a man say that to me, and never would I have thought One – Inyang would LIE ON GOD! From there, he got my attention, by that time 2 months had passed (August 2010).

“As Inyang and I began conversing, we discussed the difference in Age and the fact that I could not have any children, Inyang response was “it doesn’t matter because God said you are my Wife and I had made up in my mind that however God sent my wife, that is how I would ACCEPT her.” He shared with me how many women in his church (Faith Tabernacle AKA Winners, David Oyedepo is Pastor) cannot have children, and some are even older than their husbands, but, they still married and are still married today (was referring up to that moment he made that statement). He even shared how his Auntie is in the exact situation (no Child(ren), yet she and her husband are STILL TOGETHER (at that time August 2010).

“Time went on, Inyang then asked that I come to Nigeria to visit him, by that time he had CONVINCED me that he was AUTHENTIC and SINCERE – HE WASN’T. Anyway, I visited Inyang December 2010 (6 months after officially meeting). I was in Nigeria for 21 days, the entire time Inyang was the Perfect Host, he took me everywhere, introduced me to EVERYONE, family, friends, enemies, church associates, he even took me to church at Winners’ Chapel, Canaan Land, Ota Nigeria; Inyang was so active at Winners, he volunteered as Security (Bus & Church), he pretty much, so I THOUGHT lived in church, always talking about God (to me), he told me how he attended Pre-Marital classes at Winners because he wanted to Prepare to be an EXCELLENT HUSBAND to ME, he had me FOOLED, he was the World’s Greatest Pretender.

“While in Nigeria Inyang proposed to me (December 21, 2010) during my Launch Party of Royal Entertainment Nigeria, I accepted his Proposal because I was convinced he was AUTHENTIC! He did not perform in the typical way that of a Romance Scammer or Yahoo Boi, as stated, he introduced me to EVERYONE, took me EVERYWHERE, etc. After the proposal, eight months later I returned to Nigeria and we were married 8 months later (August 12, 2011). What I thought that was going to be a Marriage, turned out to be MARRIAGE FRAUD!

USCIS Immigration Paper work after Marriage Submission

“I submitted Inyang’s Immigration paperwork to USCIS December 12, 2011, the first process was was Approved May 2012, his Interview in Lagos was October 30, 2012 and his Visa was issued, the entire process from submission to Approval was 10 months, Inyang even used that quick process to say “the Lord Caused it to happen because it is HIS WILL because I’m his Wife.” LIAR!

HIS BEHAVIORAL CHANGES AFTER ARRIVAL IN AMERICA

“Inyang arrived in the U.S. November 21, 2012 and that’s when HE CHANGED – IMMEDIATELY! He was no longer the loving speaking, affectionate man I visited December 2012, his excuse was “he’s in a new place, give him time to adjust.” In the meanwhile I did my part as his wife. I later learned that Inyang never attended school in Nigeria when I took him to our local college (Danville Community College) to enroll, I was upset because Inyang TOLD ME he was college educated (in Nigeria), Education means a lot to me and I only aligned myself with college educated men, so, he could not enroll. He was advised to enroll in the Adult Education program, which he did, but was unable to do the work so he stopped attending. He applied for a job at a Company in Danville, VA (June 6, 2013) and was terminated (July 4, 2013) due to violation of company code by using profane language and misconduct, thereafter Inyang obtained a job at Ebay through Adecco a Temporary Employment Agency, he didn’t keep that job and was released approximately 4 weeks later (those dates elude me). Thereafter Inyang could not find employment in Danville, VA, it was a strain on the marriage.

“By April 2014 a friend of mine, conference with Inyang and I to discuss Inyang moving to Atlanta, Georgia to work for him, the plan was for Inyang to move, get established, and I to follow no less than 6 months later- that NEVER HAPPENED! Inyang officially moved to Atlanta April 14, 2014, and my friend did as promised, gave Inyang a job, Inyang and I talked everyday, he visited me periodically in Danville, VA; when I visited Inyang in Atlanta, he was always too busy to be with me, always said “he was working,” causing my trip to be wasted. As time went on I noticed I was not hearing from Inyang, his excuse was always “he’s working,” yet he NEVER SENT ANY MONEY TO ME FOR the HOUSEHOLD in Danville, his excuse was “he had to pay for expenses where he was staying,” My friend arranged temporary lodging for Inyang in Atlanta, GA.

“I didn’t notice until AFTERWARDS that Inyang played Me, what I mean by that is, from April 14, 2014 to July 2014 I barely heard from Inyang. By August 2014 he began calling regularly, his excuse was, he got a new Job in Smyrna, GA and was flexible and could now talk when at work. By September 2014 Inyang did a surprise visit, I realized AFTERWARD that it was because the I-751-Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence Arrived, Inyang gathered all documents, and the form was Signed by me. I remained consumed with the preparation of opening my Christian Venue, a Gospel Cafe in Danville, VA, which opened November 2014. Inyang did another surprised visit for Thanksgiving 2014.

“Thereafter it went back to him not calling. I visited Inyang in Atlanta, GA March 14, 2015 after the last seeing him since November 2014, that visit did not turn out to be good, Inyang complained that I could not stay with him in Atlanta, GA 30331 because there “was no place for me to sleep,” so, I rented a Motel at the Super 8 in Stockbridge, GA, Inyang spent 1 night with me then left me at the hotel, not hearing from him again, he said he had to “go home to wash clothes.” I left Georgia devastated!

HIS PERMAMNENT RESIDENT CARD

“My daughter married March 24, 2015, to appease me from his doing me wrong a week later he attended her wedding, he was very cold, everyone around noticed his negative attitude towards me and quickly voiced their opinion. March 26, 2015 was the LAST TIME I SAW INYANG. Inyang kept in touch, each time asking me “did his Permanent Green Card arrive,” he said he needed it because his job was in jeapordy and now that his finances was getting better better, he needed to keep his job at United Distributors, Inc. so he can begin sending me money – EVENTUALLY, HE NEVER SENT A DIME! Finally, May 1, 2015 his Permanent Resident Card arrived, I mailed it to him because he expressed the urgency of it to show his Employer.

BLOCKS ON ALL SOCIAL MEDIA

“Once Inyang received his Permanent Resident card, he BLOCKED ME from ALL Social Network, MOVED to 1121 Ridgebrook Trail, Duluth, GA 30096, and changed his Job (unknown to me now), because Inyang refused to give me the necessary job information (while at United Distributors, Inc.) I was unable to apply and received Healthcare.

“Inyang filed his 2014 Income Tax but I have no clue under what Status, he did tell me that he filed SINGLE for 2015, and we were still married. Inyang changed his Driver’s License from Virgina to Georgia Driver’s License, he then moved his phone from my AT&T Family Plan to his own.

“Inyang has severed ALL TIES WITH ME, as soon as he RECEIVED HIS PERMANENT RESIDENT CARD, to me, showing MARRIAGE FRAUD, IF he was serious about our Marriage, we would still be together. Inyang has told many lies on me, saying, I threw water in his face, hit him, etc., I KNOW his Nigerian friends put him up to saying that, because IF I’d done those things, that’s considered ABUSE and he could have called Danville Local Police and file charges against me, but, IT NEVER HAPPENED. He must make me look like the bad guy when all I ever did was love him.

“His plan was for us to REMAIN married so he can file for Citizenship in 5 years, because by now I figured out he USED ME for MARRIAGE FRAUD, he knew I would not submit the necessary paperwork for citizenship, he told me he could still do it in 5 years and that I could not STOP HIM FROM BECOMING A CITIZEN. Though it’s MY WORD AGAINST HIS, all I have is HIS ACTIONS, He ADMITTED TO ME THAT he USED ME, and that I CAUSED IT BECAUSE I KEPT TELLING HIM THAT I SENSE HE WAS USING ME AND MY “WORDS” CAUSED IT TO HAPPEN (Him using me). When Inyang made that statement I immediately filed (online) a Fraud Case.

DIVORCE

“I divorced Inyang August 2016, he gladly signed the Papers because he has a Fiancee, who he’s probably married to by now, offering him the opportunity to now file for citizenship.

PETITIONS USCIS FOR MARRIAGE FRAUD

“I have been told that USCIS WILL DO NOTHING, because Inyang has not committed a Crime, YES HE HAS, He COMMITTED MARRIAGE FRAUD! That’s a Federal Crime. I’ve since learned (by people who know him) that he has a Shipping Company, he ships cars to Nigeria, and he has a Clothing Line Winners Clothes, he makes his money and sends it back to Nigeria, Inyang once told me that America is the Land of Opportunity and how he WILL RAPE this Country of their dollars and take advantage of All Opportunities, and he’s doing it.

“I am a FIGHTER, I know of 15 Women who has Married Nigerian men and the men used them for Green Card Purposes and they “think” nothing can be done, I want to show them that, YES, SOMETHING CAN BE DONE! YES! they can be DEPORTED for Immigration Marriage Fraud. I will sound the Alarm, Once Trump is in Office I will contact him and tell him my Story, I’m almost sure I will get RESULTS! Inyang should not have played with my life, I am a Good, Christian Woman Who Believes in Doing Right – all The Time. I trust that the Lord WILL GIVE ME JUSTICE by the Fraud Division recognizing that Inyang Obaten Ettah MARRIED ME FOR IMMIGRATION MARRIAGE FRAUD.”

HE’S A NIGERIAN from the heartbeat of Africa’s most populous nation, Edo state. Notoriously known as ‘Rolland Saah’, ‘International Businessman’, ‘Importing and Exporting mogul’ in Nigerian society circles, whereas Odowa Rolland Okuomose is a hardened Nigerian criminal among the top 20 Most Wanted by Federal Bureau of Investigation, FBI in United States.
He is a swindler, a con man, fraudster and ring leader of a criminal syndicate that specializes in issuing out dude lottery through a telemarketing company with his gang originating from British Columbia, Canada. He has ruined lots of homes through his criminality by deceitfully collecting all funds from many American families in the name of ‘lottery prize’ which never exist.
In a Press Statement released on FBI website: https://www.fbi.gov/wanted/wcc/odowa-roland-okuomose it states that “Odowa Roland Okuomose is wanted for his alleged involvement with a telemarketing company that ran a fraudulent lottery. The telemarketing company operated from British Columbia, Canada, under a variety of names from at least July of 2006 through October of 2007. The telemarketing company obtained several hundred thousand dollars from victims across the United States. The victims received a letter in the mail stating the recipient was the winner of a lottery prize. The telemarketing company asked victims to pay a fee to receive their monetary prize. None of the victims received any money.
“On October 5, 2007, a federal arrest warrant was issued by the United States District Court, Central District of California, after Okuomose was charged with wire fraud and mail fraud. On November 6, 2007, Okuomose was arrested in Surrey, British Columbia, Canada for those charges. Okuomose was released from custody on bail and subsequently violated the terms of his bail conditions. Therefore, in addition to an outstanding United States warrant, there has also been a Canada-wide warrant issued for his arrest.
Further investigation by our correspondent confirmed that being aware he is trailed, Okumose closed all his social media accounts from Facebook to Twitter, Instagram to Google Plus, LinkedIn to Blackberry, Whattssapp to Snapchat for fear of arrest. He could only run, but cannot hide as the long arms of law will expose him wherever he has been hiding.
US Secret Agents on Trail in Thailand, London, Nigeria and North America
Latest investigation by United States Secret Agents as coordinated by FBI shows that movements of Okumose along Thailand, North America, England and Lagos are presently under security close monitoring, “Okuomose may be traveling throughout Thailand, North America, London, England, and Lagos, Nigeria, possibly using a false name. Okuomose enjoys playing the piano,”concludes FBI
For how long will few Nigerians continually bring shame and disgrace to Nigeria, even when majority of Nigerians are hardworking people, lawful and dedicated to their choice of occupation in ensuring Nigeria’s integrity stands firm in their various profession?

‘Nigerians Most Commonly used Substance is Cannabis with Heroin increase and Cocaine since the mid-eighties’-United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime
…Says ‘Human Trafficking remains a topic of concern’
* ‘Community-based treatment services in Nigeria very limited and tend to be in urban areas’
* ‘No Reliable DATA on extent of Drug use, Number and Type of Users’
*United Nations Considering New Legislation against Smuggling of Nigerian Migrants

BY SOLAPE OGUNRANTI/SPECIAL CRIME REPORTER, ABUJA
IN A DAMNING REPORT lately on Africa’s most populous black nation, United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, UNIDO, has made it clear that Nigerians’ greatest challenge to quality healthy living is Cannabis used substance by greater percentage of its youth followed by Heroin and Cocaine addiction since the mid-eigthties. Other reports on UNIDO website also indicate that Human Trafficking remains an albatross with Nigeria as a source of destination and transit country.
The report states: “In Nigeria there is no reliable and comprehensive data on the extent of drug use, the number and type of users, as well as the numbers of people with drug use disorders.
“The available data comes from a few hospital sources and some localized surveys and studies which indicate cannabis to be the most commonly used substance, with an increased use of heroin and cocaine since the mid-eighties. Treatment and continuing care are mainly based in hospitals, with few non-government organisations (NGOs) and faith-based organisations offering some services. In-patient and limited out-patient services are offered in most hospitals and drug units.”
On the use of non-regular medical staff to care for drug addicted youth, it reads: “These facilities often use the services of part-time psychiatrists, medical practitioners and psychologists. They offer a range of services including counselling, vocational and occupational rehabilitation, and in a few centres, psychotherapy. Informal treatment programmes based on religion also exist. Community-based treatment services in Nigeria are very limited and they tend to be in urban areas.
“Output 3.5 of the project is designed to provide “direct support to civil society organizations networks working on drug prevention, treatment and care”. In order to contribute to the achievement of this output and to meet the gaps in community based treatment availability, the project has sub-contracted CSOs to implement community based treatment.
“Two years ago in a meeting of 45 CSO in the country the request for proposal for setting up of a drop in centres for drug users was announced. A selection process was then undertaken against established criteria. Five CSOs were successful.
“A six day training course was then delivered to five workers from each of the successful CSO. The primary target group comprises: people vulnerable to drug use; people who use drugs (including injecting drug users); and their partners and families. The beneficiaries will be 200 people who use drugs and their partners and families in the identified local community setting. Through the provision of this service by these 5 CSOs we will be reaching the target of at least 1,000 drug users (including injectors) in Nigeria.
“The programme kicked off in mid 2016 in all the drop-in-centres yielding positive results of the 5 CSOs running the drop in centre. One centre has now had 207 clients using their service. The other CSOs have been operational for approximately 3 months with the number of drug users using these services as at October 2016, ranging from 87 to 119. Many of the clients have been report they are poly-drug users with cannabis topping the list. In most instances, this is followed by heroin, with a smaller percentage using cocaine. Several injecting drug users are also presenting at the services.
“Though many of the clients of these services have not altogether stopped their use of the drugs, many are committing to and actually reducing their intake of the drugs. These drop-in-centres are filling a much needed gap in providing free and easily accessible services for drug users. It is apparent that more of these centres are needed across the country. The project believes that the results of the national drug use survey, expected by mid 2017, will provide strong evidence to support the need for improved access to drug treatment services.”

Human Trafficking challenge
UNIDO reports explain that “Mainly young women and girls are trafficked to Europe and other destinations, and there is growing evidence for the involvement of Nigerian criminal networks. Nigeria domesticated the key provisions of the UNTOC and the Trafficking Protocol in 2001, and has since set standards for the ECOWAS region and beyond, through its National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP). Bilateral cooperation agreements with, inter‐alia, Italy, the Netherlands, the Nordic Countries, France, and the UK, have led to the dismantling of several international criminal trafficking networks. NAPTIP has rescued more than 4,000 victims since its creation, and achieved more than 100 convictions of traffickers between 2008 and early 2010.
“Reliable data on the smuggling of migrants is hard to obtain, but smuggling conducted by criminal networks involving Nigerians and other West African nationals is of growing concern. Already a party to the respective UN Protocol, Nigeria has recently requested UNIDO support for the creation of new legislation against smuggling of migrants.”

IT WOULD be recalled that precisely on March 23, two of our top Investigative journalists in NAIJA STANDARD, Tope Akinyemi, a crack news reporter in Amsterdam and Clem Obiorah, our Online Editor in Abuja broke the news of one Ademile Bakray, notoriously known as ‘Infinity’, London based publisher of defunct ‘Infinity Magazine’ whose sole identity is to allegedly blackmail through subtle threat Nigerian married women and single ladies in a bid to extort funds from them and eventually ‘sleep with them. Obviously, internet went viral after the news hit social media.
Paragraph seven of our the previous story published read: “Some other documents received from some these angry Nigerian lady alleged that Infinity is the man in the nude video, that Ademile is a porn promoter in Nigeria and United Kingdom, UK. The unverified document read (unedited) states that ‘Infinity has claimed Yetunde Oriyomi was the person who supplies him naked Nigerian ladies. Infinity claimed LAFUNKY also make available to him Nigerian naked ladies. Infinity claims Angelic Brown is jobless in UK, Naomi is a fat animal. Abike Jagaban is too ugly at heart.

Going by this unsubstantiated document which we said ‘unverified’, aside other visual and audio tapes in our editorial team possession sent by few of the angry Nigerian women, Yetunde Oriyomi, a Nigerian born British has reacted to the story to clear herself so that the world will know she has nothing whatsoever to do with Satanic incarnate’s Infinity man. She also reveals various ways she has been harassed mentality by Ademile’s continuous slander, such that she has now dragged this man in the center of storm to court of jurisdiction in United Kingdom to answer for all his crimes against her.
In the exact words of Yetunde: “I saw your story regarding Ademile Bakare known as infinity. I read that it’s one Yetunde Oriyomi that supply them the girls in the video. I am Yetunde Oriyomi, a wife of somebody and mother of 2 kids. I have being in employment for over 10years. Yes I used to know infinity in the pass. I met him in 2014 and he was a brother to me. I decided to run away from him because of the way he slander people which became very painful to him. He started slandering and defaming me using a lady called Wine Oriadeoja to be releasing audios to destroy me.
On British police written warning to Ademile, and his fake stories “I have no other choice than to report the issue to the British police and a written warning was issued to infinity in 2015 but the lady ran back to Nigeria. Unfortunately he started again late year to defame me again and the case continue till this moment. We are starting a court case over this matter because I nearly lost my life over the fake stories that went viral about me then.
Regarding the betrayal attitude of Ademile to anyone he meets by stylishly recording their conversation for blackmail, Yetunde explains: “But as fate would have it, Infinity disappointed his group including the lady wine Oriadeoja when he recorded all conversation he had with any body that called him which later leaks to public. Reason why wine Oriadeoja exposed him of how she was asked to defame me. All documentation and proofs have been submitted to the police regarding this and a court case is commencing early next month (April). I have not introduced any lady to infinity and I did not know him more than few months before we parted ways when I realized that he’s not the type I should move with. One of his group members leaked the sex video out which I did not know nothing about or any of those girls as it goes viral.
Working lawfully hard and schooling as a part time student, her words: “I work more than 50hrs a week and I have record for all I do. Happily married and live with my husband and kids. I go to school as a part time student too so therefore I do not have time for rubbish. I don’t know why you have to put my name in your news saying I introduced the ladies to them. What infinity did for me since 2015 up till now affected me mentally but thank God I am still alive. Reason I have to bring him down to justice. Take my name off your stories because I did not know anything about the sex story. Do not hesitate to contact me if there is a need. Yetunde Oriyomi.”

BY GEORGE ELIJAH OTUMU/FOREIGN BUREAU CHIEF, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

THEY ARE NIGERIAN BORN NATURALIZED AMERICAN CITIZENS resident in Philadelphia. Adeyinka and Temitope Adebamiro were once seen in their immediate neighborhood in America as ever happy couple. No one will ever believe there was ‘no love lost’ between the seeming, lovely couple. But matters soon came to a halt when the bitterness rocking the foundation of their marriage that produced two beautiful kids-Five and Eight years led to the irreparable damage that snuffed life out of Adeyinka, a trained Pharmacist.
Temitope, the embattled wife arrested and charged with first-degree murder has been held at the Baylor Women’s Correctional Institution ever since. She was alleged by investigators to have stabbed her husband on the neck with a kitchen knife over amorous text messages and unbelievable sexual pictures she found on the deceased cellphone.
The investigators unanimously believe that “No one disputed the fact that Adeyinka Adebamiro’s wife stabbed him to death in their Red Lion home, but two very different images of Adebamiro emerged at his wife Temitope’s sentencing in a Delaware courtroom recently.”
For the biological family of the deceased, they agreed he was a respected Pharmacist trying to follow his Nigerian family’s values by saving a deeply-troubled marriage for the couple’s two children. The evidence, however, pointed to a darker truth. But Temitope’s attorney provided Superior Court Judge Andrea L. Rocanelli with evidence of scars on Temitope’s body from his abuse and numerous videos showing that Adebamiro was not only unfaithful, but was having sex with prostitutes.
At the time of his death, this 37-year-old man was also being investigated by federal authorities for illegally selling $20,000 worth of prescription pills each week through his six pharmacies in the Philadelphia area, argues Temitope’s attorney Kathryn van Amerongen. Temitope only learned of this when she received in prison a federal forfeiture notice saying the government wanted to seize nearly $300,000 from her deceased husband.
Having listened to arguments on both sides, Rocanelli did not speak much but send a clear message. Temitope, a 36 year old mother of two was sentenced to only four years in prison, a lenient sentence for a defendant who admitted to murder and could have faced up to 50 years.
Like a baby, Temitope wept. She cried quietly throughout the hearing, while her attorney Amerongen read a letter on her behalf in which she expressed remorse and apologized to Adebamiro’s family for her “unplanned, yet inexcusable actions.” In tears, Temitope said the most difficult thing will be, someday, to explain to her children, ages 5 and 8, what happened to their father.
By all accounts, the couple’s marriage was irreparable long before Temitope stabbed her husband in their stately home on Healy Court in April 2015. Colleen Norris, Deputy Attorney General said Adebamiro wanted to end the marriage, but was stuck between two cultures and two generations. One side was telling him to get a divorce. The other pushed him to stick it out.
His words: “The ensuing drama was dizzying. There were trips back and forth to Nigeria. Children left with a nanny. And a post-nuptial agreement aimed at stopping the chaos. None of this was discovered by authorities until Adebamiro’s death led them into the couple’s world.”
For New Castle County police, their statement reads that “the two had been married for more than 10 years. Temitope told investigators her husband was physically abusive to her and had been cheating on her with various women, including her own sister and the nanny’s daughter.
“On the night of the killing, Temitope told investigators her husband had sent her to Nigeria for several months. After returning in December, she had to stay in a hotel near the Philadelphia airport for four days because her husband refused to let her into their home. He then paid for her to fly back to Nigeria for a few more months to live with a pastor, according to documents and statements in court.
Amerongen, Temitope’s lawyer explained: “Temitope was only allowed to return to Delaware and see her children after she signed a post-nuptial agreement that turned over all control of the couple’s property and assets to Adebamiro. The agreement also established rules for her return, including a ban on crying and allowing the nanny to control the upbringing of the couple’s children. These were rules that are well beyond what anybody would call a normal post-nuptial agreement,” she said. It was entirely one-sided.”
“The written agreement was found by investigators on one of Adebamiro’s computers in a locked office in their home. Also found on the computer was surveillance footage that captured images of Adebamiro having sex with other women and conducting a drug deal.
“This data dump provided a significant break in the case, she said. While it did not show Adebamiro physically abusing his wife, it did show him using on other women sex toys that Temitope had claimed were used to assault and scar her. The big picture starts to look like he was sexually aggressive and violent toward her.”
Making a strong case for Temitope, her lawyer gave the judge this information, as well as hospital and police reports that lent credibility to Temitope’s statements about the abuse, some of which occurred while she was pregnant.
While the judge weighed this information, she also heard from Adebamiro’s brother, Dotun. Obviously angry Dotun said: “I’m sure it is a loss to him and someone has to say that. It is not just a loss to us.”

Dotun begged the judge to consider a lengthy sentence so the children can grow up without interference from their mother. Dotun argues: “No matter how much love, effort I put into reassuring them, they are always reminded of his lack of presence.”
Norris asked the judge to sentence Temitope to 12 years in prison. She claimed this was not a one-sided domestic abuse case, but instead a broken marriage with abuse coming from both parties.
But Temitope’s attorney said: “The final trigger for this troubled marriage came last year when Adebamiro and his wife flew back from Nigeria together. As he showed her the cameras inside their home over his cellphone, Temitope saw the nanny’s daughter inside the home.
The court document said: “At one point, Temitope saw several texts and images on her husband’s phone, which she took pictures of using her cellphone. Some of the pictures included images of her sister and the nanny’s daughter.
“Around 9 p.m. on the night of the killing, the couple had been talking and watching television on the couch when her husband discovered the photos she’d taken on her cellphone. As he yelled at her, Temitope told police there was a power outage, the court documents said. Investigators checked with Delmarva Power, which indicated there was no power outage at the time, police said.
“Temitope then told police that when the power returned, she found her husband in the first-floor bedroom lying in the bed. As she got closer to him, she saw a knife on the ground which she picked up and took to the kitchen, according to documents. Temitope suggested to police that her husband stabbed himself and changed her story several times, according to court documents. Police found him around 12:40 a.m. with a single stab wound near his neck.
However, Norris said the state offered Temitope a plea because the defense would have presented evidence from that night that could be considered a triggering event for extreme emotional distress. The state also wanted to avoid airing a difficult family situation. Temitope was allowed to plead guilty to manslaughter under a section of the code for extreme emotional distress and a weapon offense in September.
But Amerongen said had Adebamiro still been alive, he could have faced 20 years to life for the abuse he inflicted on his wife. She adds: “I respect the family members. But they have a vision of their brother not borne out in those videos.”

BY GEORGE ELIJAH OTUMU/FOREIGN BUREAU CHIEF/UNITED STATES OF AMERICA & ANTONETTE JEROB/SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT IN LAGOS

HE’S A NIGERIAN, unwilling to follow legal path in any of his undertakings. In Lekki, Lagos where his mansion was located (house now on rent to unsuspecting members of the public), he was notoriously seen as an international businessman who was into ‘Clearing and Forwarding’, whereas he is the Kingpin of Advance Fee Fraud, otherwise known on the streets as ‘419’. His names are Kevin Kunlay Williams , but prefer to be called ‘Kunlay Sodipo’ due to his shady kind of business.
Kevin surround himself with unreliable, jobless friends whose sole source of livelihood in Lagos Island are crimes. Someone rightly put it that they are ‘yahoo-yahoo boys,’ that seem to be above the law in early 90’s. Having defraud several Nigerians during those periods and Nigerian police effect his arrest in company of some of his gangs, they were soon left off the hook, seen on the streets walking freely.
Kunlay felt there was need for his scam group to up their evil game to move to the next level, acquired mostly hoax documents from ‘Oluwole’, a criminal hideout in Nigeria where only FAKE documents originates. He ensured he got only few other genuine documents ready, left for the United States Embassy and was issued a B1/B2 Visitor’s visas. Without any waste of time, few days later, he used the funds he already stole from unsuspecting Nigerians in his ‘yahoo-yahoo’ to buy return tickets for himself to America, spent the remaining to relocate his gang members to Ghana, since Nigeria was gradually becoming too hot for them (the gang).
After he arrived St. Louis early 90’s, a city which has an estimated 2015 population of 315,685, being the cultural and economic center of the Greater St. Louis area (home to 2,916,447 people), making it the largest metropolitan area in Missouri and the 19th-largest in the United States; he began to plot his Devilish moves to scam innocent Americans so as to live as a ‘Big Man in Yankee.’
Meanwhile, his 30 days valid stay legality as issued by Custom and Border Control (CBD) at the point of entry has expired, which automatically would show at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) that he was already out-of-status as an illegal visitor or undocumented immigrants.
He was always parading Night Clubs been that he had no home. It was significant to explain that at each of those Night Clubs, he would always foment trouble by either fighting another man he met by thee bar or harassed ladies at the clubs to become his girlfriend. The police were invited, he was arrested, prosecuted, while the United States Immigration officials ensured he was deported precisely 1995 to Lagos.
Kunlay began to plan his move again to return to United States,, he convinced his gang members to fully support him financially so he could get back to Yankee, as he would not let them down this time. Barely four years later, Kunlay found his way back into United States. This time around, he fully concentrated on mail fraud, identity card scam and further acquired illegally through pawn shops a firearm. His true identity was blown open by diligent prosecutors who had been secretly trailing all his fraudulent activities for years in America, whereas he was unaware. Prosecutors say a Nigerian citizen living in St. Louis was part of a stolen identity fraud scheme that sought more than $12 million in refunds.
A federal grand jury in St. Louis returned a superseding indictment recently charging Kevin Kunlay Williams, also known as Kunlay Sodipo, with mail fraud, aggravated identity theft, voter fraud, illegal re-entry and being a felon in possession of a firearm. Kunlay and others allegedly used public school employees’ identifications stolen from a payroll company to file more than 2,000 fraudulent federal income tax returns. Also, he allegedly used fraudulently obtained identification numbers to obtain refund checks.
After he was illegally entry into United States in 1999, Kunlay took his criminality to the highest level as he allegedly voted illegally in 2012 and 2016 elections. Without doubt, this Nigerian has brought shame on his family, disgrace on himself and opprobrium to Nigeria.
If convicted, Kunlay faces a statutory maximum sentence of 20 years in prison for each count of mail fraud, a mandatory minimum sentence of two years in prison for the aggravated identity theft, a statutory maximum sentence of 10 years in prison for the illegal reentry, a statutory maximum sentence of five years in prison for each of the voter fraud counts, and a statutory maximum sentence of 10 years in prison for the felon in possession of a firearm. The defendant also faces a period of supervised release, restitution, forfeiture and monetary penalties

Missouri Man Indicted for $12 Million Tax Refund Fraud, Voter Fraud, Illegal Reentry and Felon in Possession of Firearm

Allegedly Stole Public School Employees’ IDs

A federal grand jury sitting in St. Louis, Missouri, returned a superseding indictment today charging a St. Louis resident for his role in a sophisticated stolen identity refund fraud scheme and other federal offenses, announced Acting Deputy Assistant Attorney General Stuart M. Goldberg of the Justice Department’s Tax Division and Acting U.S. Attorney Carrie A. Costantin for the Eastern District of Missouri.

The superseding indictment charges Kevin Kunlay Williams aka Kunlay Sodipo, a Nigerian citizen, with mail fraud, aggravated identity theft, voter fraud, illegal reentry and being a felon in possession of a firearm. According to the indictment, Williams and others stole public school employees’ IDs from a payroll company and used them to electronically file more than 2000 fraudulent federal income tax returns seeking more than $12 million in refunds. He also allegedly stole several Electronic Filing Identification Numbers (EFINs) that he used to secure bank products allowing him to print refund checks and direct the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to send refunds to prepaid debit cards. The indictment alleges that Williams had refund checks issued in the names of the stolen IDs, and blank check stock and debit cards sent to his residence.

The indictment further alleges that Williams previously entered the United States from Nigeria under the name Kunlay Sodipo, but was deported in 1995. According to the indictment, in 1999, Williams illegally returned to the United States from Nigeria using the last name Williams. In 2012, Williams allegedly registered to vote in federal, state and local elections by falsely claiming that he was a U.S. citizen and is alleged to have voted in the 2012 and 2016 presidential elections. On the day of his arrest in February, Williams is alleged to have been illegally in possession of a firearm.

An indictment merely alleges that crimes have been committed. The defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.

If convicted, Williams faces a statutory maximum sentence of 20 years in prison for each count of mail fraud, a mandatory minimum sentence of two years in prison for the aggravated identity theft, a statutory maximum sentence of 10 years in prison for the illegal reentry, a statutory maximum sentence of five years in prison for each of the voter fraud counts, and a statutory maximum sentence of 10 years in prison for the felon in possession of a firearm.

THIS IS SIMPLY CORRUPTION, a canker-worm the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari of Nigeria has been fighting since the inception of his democratic government two years ago. The shocking discovery made our team of crack reporters exposed the rot, stealing and various back-door moves being made daily by majority of public office holders appointed to serve the people. Rather than offer selfless service to the people genuinely, they service their personal bank accounts and pockets in the detriment of the suffering masses. Bashir Yusuf Jamoh – Executive Director (Finance & Administration) for The Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA), Hon Irene Macfoy, Coordinator of the Nigerian Seafarers Development Programme (NSDP) and one Mr Mandy, a Consultant to NIMASA are in ‘hot soup’ for allegedly looting the sum of $1.8million that ought to be released to 295 Nigerian students on Federal Government scholarship in Constanta Maritime University, Romania.
This scam and scandal were exposed by incontrovertible documents leaked to these embattled Nigerian students within Constanta Maritime University being correspondence between NIMASA Directors and the Romania University. It is a fraud. We are using this medium to reach out to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to speedily investigate this matter, Senate should call for an emergency meeting on it, while the Buhari government should take a deeper look at this issue that seems already going out of control.
As at press time, all the 295 students had been dropped from school due to payment not made by NIMASA, 40 of these students ejected from their apartments, many of them are homeless, as they sleep on the streets while starvation is hitting them. Romania Immigration Office is already preparing to deport them all back to Nigeria.

Please let the SENATE and well meaning Nigerian look into it as a matter of urgency.
Q: What specifically do you want Nigerian Senate?
A: We want Nigerian Senate to hear us and treat this matter as of urgency on the floor of National Assembly.

We have been deceived, abandoned to our fate, while we are all now at cross-roads here.
Q: So, how many Nigerian students from NIMASA are studying in Romania in total?

BY YOMI OLAKUNLE/DEPUTY CRIME EDITOR, ABUJA & GEORGE ELIJAH OTUMU, FOREIGN BUREAU CHIEF, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

MILLIONS OF NIGERIANS HAD EXPRESSED SHOCK why fuel scarcity persist in Africa’s most populous nation, while the pains and sufferings become unbearable. Not many are in the know that Esther Nnamdi-Ogbue, the woman at the center of the graft storm that once served as the Managing Director of the Petroleum Products Pricing and Marketing Company (PPMC), a subsidiary of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) and her closest confidant, Ifeanyi Ubah, owner of Capital Oil are the greatest enemies of the Nigerian people.
These two buddies and business partners have been uncovered to be the invisible force exploiting the petroleum sector by enriching themselves however they want through IPOs sales, kickbacks using proxies to defraud Nigerian government thereby aggravating the suffering of the masses.
Our undercover investigation confirms that while at PPMC after which she was appointed and sacked as Managing Director of NNPC, Esther had created a long lasting business friendship with Ubah to ensure the two hit fortune in Nigeria’s petroleum industry.
Proceed of crime illicit funds start rolling in. Esther and Ubah never showed any sign the two-some were behind the varying nationwide fuel scarcity. It was alleged that Esther enriched herself and amassed stupendous wealth from sales of IPOs to desperate oil cabal, collection of kick backs through proxies and other underhand dealings to have seen to the ongoing fuel scarcity being experienced by Nigerians.
Our reliable sources privy to the investigation of Esther by Nigeria’s anti-graft agency, Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) explained that the commission has been trailing her over the acquisition of choice properties in the nation’s capital particularly a house at Maitama valued at N1.2 billion built and furnished within 2months after her resumption of office.
An eye witness account reportedly said EFCC Chairman was said to have expressed shock after seeing the gigantic property located at off no 4, Amazon Street Maitama, Abuja as he exclaimed that Alison Madueke-Diezani, former Minister of Petroleum kleptocracy must be a starter comparable to Esther’s penchant for stealing public funds.
Our source in EFCC explains: “EFCC Chairman had been very angry and shocked at the discovery and wondered how two human beings could seat, plot to suffer Nigerians and make their gain. EFCC sees it as a FRAUD, while the funds seen as proceeds of crime. That was the reason Ifeanyi Ubah was also questioned and still being investigated by EFCC since we have documentary evidence on his financial crime in the petrol scam. Ubah is not a Saint at all.”
It was identified that Esther and other top oil cabal, prominently among them Ubah had desperately fought hard to stop every reform at the NNPC especially the rare kind that exposes such a monumental fraud without any waste of time.

Further investigation shows that Esther was Company Secretary of Nidas Shipping Service Agency (UK) Limited and later a Shareholder. According to information of the company’s website, Esther joined this firm on 17 April 2009, retired as the Company Secretary 09 March 2010 and remain Shareholder thereafter.
These are the Directors of Nidas Shipping Service Agency (UK) Limited : Mrs Evelyn Aimua Orumwense (Company Secretary), Mr Jong Ik Lee (Director), Mr Ahmadu Hamman Sambo, a Civil Servant (Director/Shareholder), Mr Farouk Ahmed, a Public Servant (Director/Shareholder), Mr Henry Kim (Director), Mr Auwalu Abubakar (Retired), Ms Esther Nnamdi-Ogbue (Company Secretary retired/Shareholder).
Meanwhile, various attempt were made to reach the former PPMC boss for a reaction as failed as the detectives handling her case have switched off her phone, while our source confirmed that senior members of the cabal are trying everything to ‘kill this story’ from being published.

BY THOMPSON KELECHI/ANTI-GRAFT EDITOR, ABUJA & LOLA IBAYEDE/CRIME REPORTER, LAGOS & LAUREETA CLEM/SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT, INVESTIGATION NIGERIA
SHOCKING INVESTIGATION carried out by our team of experienced crack reporters has proven that the found $43,449,947, £27,800, and N23,218,000, totaling $50million hidden inside an apartment, at Osborne Towers, Ikoyi, Lagos by Nigeria’s anti-graft agency, Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) was kept away purposely to be used for 2019 Elections by the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Our correspondents discovered that the $50million, a fall-out of the proceeds and balance of 2015 Election’s Campaign Funds were allegedly diverted by few politicians without the knowledge of the Presidency into a secret apartment in Lagos. These few politicians are believed to be very powerful in Nigeria’s corridor of power, seen as ‘untouchables.’ They are more described as Cabal, who by their position in the government of Nigeria could take any action, even in the last minute on any issue of National Security, and nothing would happen.
It was to avert been traced during and immediately after the victory of APC in the 2015 Election that the Cabal resolved too keep this controversial 50million away in the Ikoyi apartment, and not in any Nigerian bank, which would have attracted a red flag by Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) based on the apex bank’s regulatory banking policies on deposits in Nigerian banks.
The Nigerian Presidency, sources said was kept away from this manipulation and diversion of funds because President Muhammadu Buhari’s open position on war against corruption is in no doubt. It was believed by the Cabal that if Mr President had been aware, he would have immediately ordered the funds be returned to the coffers of the government, since he detests corruption.
But historic moves made by Ibrahim Magu led EFCC to bursts the Ikoyi home hideout of a Nigerian politician where this huge sum of money was kept in apartments belonging to another Nigerian public office holder in the Transport ministry had thrown spanner in the works of the Cabal, who felt all their plans to financially capture 2019 Election is already waning.
This immediately drew anger from Nigerians from all works of life. Sensing the danger, lawlessness and protests that may ground the activities of the federal government as a result of this exposure by EFCC, the Cabal began to put enormous pressures on the anti-graft agency NOT TO MENTION THE NAME(S) OF THE OWNER OF THE FUNDS OR APARTMENT OWNER under any circumstance for the purpose of National Security.
The Nigerian Presidency was briefed, made to see the spiraling effect of lawlessness, break-down-of-law and order that may accompany the EFCC revelation of the true identities of persons behind the fund. President Buhari, our security sources was assured the Cabals were taking this step to save the nation and ensure stable National Security.
It was at this juncture, the idea of Nigeria’s foreign intelligence service, Nigeria Intelligence Agency, NIA was muted to claim responsibility and ownership of the $50million so that the identities of the fund’s owners would be shielded and the money returned to the coffers of the Federal Government and no arrest or prosecution would be made.
That was the reason NIA reacted 24 to 48 hours after EFCC made the hidden $50million open to the world and claim ownership of the fund. NIA, as a soft-landing for the owners of the funds explained that the money found on the seventh floor of the building was approved by former President Goodluck Jonathan for covert operations and security projects covering a period of years.
According to NIA, “The money was released in bits during the tenure of a former NIA director-general. The cash was approved before the advent of the Treasury Single Account made by Central Bank of Nigeria.”
Due to the national importance of this issue, the Director-General of the NIA, Ambassador Ayo Oke; the EFCC Chairman, Ibrahim Magu; and the National Security Adviser to the Nigerian Presidency, Babagana Moguno, had met over the issue. A Presidency source also confirmed the meeting to one of our correspondents.
The NIA source explained that when EFCC operatives arrived the Ikoyi property last Wednesday, they were informed that the said apartment was a safe house of the NIA from which discreet operations were carried out.
Remembering that Nigerian laws permit NIA to keep funds in private apartments outside the CBN, EFCC boss rejected all entreaties from the NIA and entered the building, breaking the fireproof safes and taking the money. For the records, NIA is a product of the first national address as president in June 1986 when Ibrahim Babangida issued Decree Number 19, dissolving the National Security Organization (NSO) and restructuring Nigeria’s security services into three separate entities under the Office of the Co-ordinator of National Security:
State Security Service (SSS) – Responsible for domestic intelligence
National Intelligence Agency (NIA) – Responsible for Foreign intelligence and counterintelligence operations
Defence Intelligence Agency (DIA) – Responsible for military intelligence.
Meanwhile, the CBN has denied claims by NIA, that the apex bank approved and released the massive stash of cash recovered by EFCC from an apartment in Ikoyi, Lagos. Though NIA had claimed that it received the funds directly from the CBN. The funds were valued at N13 billion, based on the prevailing exchange rate set by the CBN.
However, when contacted, the CBN said it was not sure that the recovered billions, in mint fresh notes, were moved directly from the bank to the NIA. Contacted to clarify its role in the disbursement of the funds, the CBN Spokesperson, Isaac Okorafor, said: “It is true the Central Bank of Nigeria issues mint fresh notes, but it is only to banks. After that (issuance to banks), the CBN does not know which of their customers they (the banks) give those notes to, and for what purpose. I cannot say if the notes the NIA is claiming came from the CBN. So, I will not be able to answer questions on it for now, except I receive a specific request.”
Also, the Conference of Nigeria Political Parties (CNPP) has accused Nigerian government of plotting to cover up identity of real owner by plotting to shield the real owner of the sums of $43,449, 947, £27,800 and N23,218,000 (about N13.3 billion) recently recovered from an Ikoyi apartment in Lagos State. It called on the EFCC to prove to Nigerians that its activities are not lopsided by naming and prosecuting the true owner of the money. This national umbrella organisation for all political parties and associations in the country warned that it would mobilize its members, well-meaning Nigerians, and civil society groups “to resist any cover-up of the real owner of the stashed cash,” dismissing the claims that the money belongs to the NIA.
In a statement issued yesterday, Saturday by CNPP signed by its Secretary General, Chief Willy Ezugwu, he maintained that if it was found that the money and the apartment truly belonged to the former governor of Rivers State and Minister of Transport, Hon. Rotimi Amaechi, the cash should be returned to the River State treasury.
His statement reads: “We’re worried that the current anti-graft war is becoming a show as each day passes. It is more worrisome when you begin to hear that a government security agency, the NIA, which is not a revenue generating organ of the federal government, is laying claim to the recovered.
“The NIA’s angle to the controversy is nothing but a deliberate plot by the Federal Government to cover up the true identity of the looter. How can the NIA claim to own N13 billion cash stashed in a private residential apartment; NIA has no office in Lagos?”
“The war against corruption is now being exposed for what it truly is on daily basis, a lopsided fight against perceived enemies of the present administration, while all members of the ruling party are shielded from prosecution. The case of the Secretary to Government of the Federation (SGF) is still fresh in our minds, how President Muhammadu Buhari quickly absorbed him of any wrong doing even before any investigation was carried. The Minister of Transport has been at the centre of several financial scandals which were never investigated. But any plot to cover up the owner of the Ikoyi apartment loot will be strongly resisted, with the CNPP leading the struggle. Enough is enough.”
Same way, Nigeria’s Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed claimed “Treasury looters keep money in graveyard.” The Federal Government says its anti corruption agencies have been inundated with information on how treasury looters have resorted to burying stolen funds in their backyards, deep forests and graveyard.
Stating it precisely, Mohammed, who disclosed this on Sunday in Lagos, said the whistle-blowing policy is working and has led to the recovery of more looted funds in many currencies. Mohammed assured in a statement signed by his Special Adviser, Segun Adeyemi, that all the recovered looted funds were safe and government will give full account to Nigerians. The Minister appreciate Nigerians for their enthusiasm and commitment in helping the government to tackle corruption through disclosure of useful leads to appropriate government agencies.
His words: “Since we launched the whistleblower policy, we have received immeasurable support from Nigerians. Yes, there is monetary reward for any information that leads to recovery of looted funds, but from what we have seen, most of the Nigerians who have come forward with useful leads were driven by patriotism rather than reward.
“Nigerians, fired by a fervid resolve to help banish corruption from their country, have daily inundated the offices of the appropriate government agencies with valuable information. We have been told how looters have resorted to burying stolen funds in their backyards, in deep forests and even in burial grounds.
“Thanks to whistle-blowers, it is now clear that a rapacious few have pillaged the nation’s wealth through a vicious orgy of corrupt practices. More funds were in the possession of looters than were available to government at all levels to meets its obligations including paying workers’ salaries and providing social amenities.
“The government will not abandon the policy for whatever reason, but will continue to rejig it and make it more effective as a tool for fighting corruption. As soon as the necessary reconciliation process and the litigation in some of the cases were concluded, government would give full account of the recovered looted funds to Nigerians. If you have useful information on looted funds, let us know, the government will protect your identities and give you their stipulated reward.”
Unwilling to stomach the EFCC Lillie-levered approach in naming names behind the $50million loot, majority of Nigerians are angry, and have taken their anger to the social media to vent their annoyance.
It remains to be seen what would be the fate of Magu, EFCC chairman after his earlier exposure of the $50million bursts in Lagos hideouts, Nigerians still eager to know the public office holder (s) who allegedly own the fund, as they also demand to know the faces of those politicians who are the Cabals behind this raging storm of hidden looted hefty sum of money.

BY GEORGE ELIJAH OTUMU/FOREIGN BUREAU CHIEF/UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

ROSEMARY OFUME AND DONATUS IRIELE are Nigerian lawfully married couple, but Naturalized American trained Pharmacists who live large in Atlanta, United States as ‘successful medical personnel’ in Northern District of Georgia, whereas they are major distributors of ‘death Pill Mill opiate medication’ to the youths, elderly and other members of the communities purposely to make fast money. The couples’ fortune comes from the consumption and death of unsuspecting Americans who take these medications and become addicted, but ends up having CANCER.
In a detailed Press Statement released from the office of the United States Attorney’s in Northern District of Chicago, it reads: “Rosemary Ofume and Donatus Iriele, the husband and wife owners of Medicine Center Pharmacy in Atlanta, Georgia, have been convicted after a three-week jury trial on federal drug and money laundering charges for illegally dispensing controlled narcotics to customers of the “pill mill” pain clinic across the street. They were convicted of a drug trafficking conspiracy, three counts of illegally dispensing controlled substances without a legitimate medical purpose and outside the usual course of professional practice, and a money laundering conspiracy, in connection with their operation of Medicine Center Pharmacy, in Atlanta, Georgia. Additionally, Iriele was convicted individually of five counts of concealment money laundering and laundering more than $10,000 of criminally derived property.
United States Attorney John Horn states: “Like the rest of the country, the state of Georgia continues to experience the devastating impact of the opiate epidemic. These defendants used their pharmacy to supply pills to patients of a known “pill mill.” Physicians, pharmacists and other medical professionals that prey on drug addicts, and feed their addictions in order to make a profit, are simply drug dealers in white coats.”
In his view, Daniel R. Salter, the Special Agent in Charge of the DEA Atlanta Field Division said, “It is a sad commentary when trusted individuals in the medical community hide behind the veil of legitimacy to commit criminal acts. These pharmacists can no longer fill the opiate cravings of pill-seeking addicts with impunity. Owners and operators of pill mills spin a broad web of deception, reeling in casts of thousands who are addicted to pharmaceutical drugs. This investigation was a success because of the spirited level of law enforcement cooperation.”
The statement reveals the position of James E. Dorsey, Acting Special Agent in Charge, IRS Criminal Investigation, “The reckless illegal dispensing of controlled substances results in addiction and death. The abuse of Oxycodone and other controlled substances has become an epidemic which is destroying lives and communities throughout the country. Rosemary Ofume, Donatus Iriele and others who operate pill mills in the Northern District of Georgia can expect to be investigated, prosecuted, and sent to prison in the same way as other drug traffickers who push poison in our communities.”

Being part of this investigation, Rick Allen, Director, Georgia Drugs & Narcotics Agency explains: “These convictions have removed a huge tumor from the cancer that illicit drug distribution has become during our lifetime. The hard work invested in this case by all parties, from the U.S. Attorney’s office to the boots on the ground front-line drug agents and everyone in-between proves what dedication, persistence and cooperation can accomplish. It’s proof positive that just because you have a license to practice pharmacy, you aren’t entitled to put illicitly prescribed drugs on the street and contribute to the skyrocketing opioid addiction and overdose death rates. All health care professionals are on notice to remember: you are to do no harm. And if you intentionally ignore this charge, you are going to be treated the same as a street-corner drug dealer in this war on opioid abuse.”
According to U.S. Attorney Horn, the charges and other information presented in court: In May 2009, agents of the DEA, working with agents for the IRS, began investigating the AMARC pain clinic, located in Atlanta, Georgia, and nearby Medicine Center Pharmacy, after receiving information that the clinic and pharmacy were illegitimately prescribing and dispensing pain pills to drug addicts and drug dealers.

The investigation revealed that Godfrey Ilonzo financed and operated at least eight clinics in the metro Atlanta area under the “AMARC” name, including the Lakewood pain clinic and one in Tyrone, Georgia. Bona Ilonzo (Godfrey Ilonzo’s wife) served as the office manager at the Lakewood AMARC pain clinic. At various times, Dr. Nevorn Askari and Dr. William Richardson served as the primary doctors for the AMARC pain clinics. Rosemary Ofume and Donatus Iriele operated the Medicine Center Pharmacy across the street from one of the pain clinics. Both Godfrey and Bona Ilonzo, as well as Drs. Askari and Richardson, previously pleaded guilty to charges related to their conduct at the clinic.

Ofume and Iriele worked together with the Ilonzos and Drs. Askari and Richardson to facilitate the dispensing of Oxycodone pills and other opiates to addicts and distributors. After customers received prescriptions from Askari and Richardson for medically inappropriate and potentially lethal combinations of opiates and other controlled substances, clinic staff told customers to fill their prescriptions across the street at “Rosemary’s pharmacy” (Medicine Center Pharmacy operated by Ofume and Iriele). Many of those customers traveled to the AMARC clinics and Ofume/Iriele’s pharmacy from counties throughout Georgia and from other states (including Alabama and Ohio).

Customers waited for hours at the Lakewood AMARC pain clinic and paid cash to receive prescriptions for Oxycodone or Hydrocodone, Xanax, and Soma (the “holy trinity” for resale on the street) before purchasing the pills at high prices from Ofume and Iriele’s pharmacy. Employees at the AMARC clinics and Ofume and Iriele’s pharmacy received discounts and special treatment, including free office visits and reduced prices for pills dispensed at the pharmacy. Ofume lied to pharmaceutical distributors in order to procure astronomical quantities of Oxycodone and other prescription pain pills that were then dispensed to customers having obvious signs of addiction or drug diversion. Significantly, in 2009, Medicine Center Pharmacy purchased eleven times more Oxycodone than the average pharmacy in the state of Georgia.

During the course of the conspiracy, Ofume and Iriele generated more than $5.1 million dollars from unlawful prescriptions issued by doctors affiliated with the AMARC clinics (constituting more than 90% of the pharmacy’s revenue). Iriele used pharmacy proceeds to purchase three luxury vehicles for his and Ofume’s personal use. Iriele and Ofume also laundered pharmacy proceeds by purchasing vehicles in the United States for individuals in Nigeria while concealing that those customers then deposited local Nigerian currency into Iriele’s own Nigerian bank account.

Previously, in 2007, the Georgia Board of Pharmacy revoked Iriele’s pharmacy licensed (and temporarily suspended Ofume’s pharmacy license) after finding that Ofume and Iriele had failed to account for more than 600,000 controlled substances pills at their pharmacies and had dispensed controlled substances pursuant to more than 1,400 forged prescriptions.

Earlier, Godfrey Ilonzo, 66, of Alpharetta, Georgia, and Bona Ilonzo, 54, of Alpharetta, Georgia, the husband-wife owners of the illegal pain clinic, and two doctors who worked at the clinic, pleaded guilty to federal drug and money laundering charges in connection with in the drug trafficking conspiracy.

Godfrey and Bona Ilonzo pleaded guilty on February 16, 2017, to drug trafficking conspiracy and money laundering conspiracy. Dr. Nevorn Askari, 61, of Monroe, Georgia, pleaded guilty on February 16, 2017, to a drug trafficking conspiracy; Dr. William Richardson, 63, of Atlanta, Georgia, pleaded guilty on February 1, 2017, to a drug trafficking conspiracy.

A federal grand jury returned a second superseding indictment against the defendants on September 5, 2013. The sentencings of Godrey and Bona Ilonzo, Dr. Askari, and Dr. Richardson are scheduled to take place throughout the day on May 16, 2017, before U.S. District Court Judge Steve C. Jones.

Based on the convictions, Ofume and Iriele will be ordered to forfeit to the United States $16,767 in cash seized from the pharmacy, $133,892.74 in funds seized from the pharmacy’s bank account, a 2009 BMW X5, a 2008 Mercedes Benz ML550, a 2007 BMW X5, and Rosemary Ofume’s Georgia Pharmacist license. In addition, the government also intends to seek money judgments equal to the amount of proceeds defendants obtained from their illegal drug trafficking and the amount of money laundered.

The sentencings of Ofume and Iriele are scheduled for June 13, 2017, at 10:00 a.m., before U.S. District Court Judge Jones. This case was investigated by the Drug Enforcement Administration and Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation.

Assistant United States Attorneys Laurel Boatright, Cassandra Schansman, and Michael Brown are prosecuting the case.

Two Pharmacists Convicted for Illegally Dispensing to Patients of a Pill Mill

ATLANTA – Rosemary Ofume and Donatus Iriele, the husband and wife owners of Medicine Center Pharmacy in Atlanta, Georgia, have been convicted after a three-week jury trial on federal drug and money laundering charges for illegally dispensing controlled narcotics to customers of the “pill mill” pain clinic across the street. They were convicted of a drug trafficking conspiracy, three counts of illegally dispensing controlled substances without a legitimate medical purpose and outside the usual course of professional practice, and a money laundering conspiracy, in connection with their operation of Medicine Center Pharmacy, in Atlanta, Georgia. Additionally, Iriele was convicted individually of five counts of concealment money laundering and laundering more than $10,000 of criminally derived property.

“Like the rest of the country, the state of Georgia continues to experience the devastating impact of the opiate epidemic,” said U.S. Attorney John Horn. “These defendants used their pharmacy to supply pills to patients of a known “pill mill.” Physicians, pharmacists and other medical professionals that prey on drug addicts, and feed their addictions in order to make a profit, are simply drug dealers in white coats.”

Daniel R. Salter, the Special Agent in Charge of the DEA Atlanta Field Division said, “It is a sad commentary when trusted individuals in the medical community hide behind the veil of legitimacy to commit criminal acts. These pharmacists can no longer fill the opiate cravings of pill-seeking addicts with impunity. Owners and operators of pill mills spin a broad web of deception, reeling in casts of thousands who are addicted to pharmaceutical drugs. This investigation was a success because of the spirited level of law enforcement cooperation.”

“The reckless illegal dispensing of controlled substances results in addiction and death,” said James E. Dorsey, Acting Special Agent in Charge, IRS Criminal Investigation. “The abuse of Oxycodone and other controlled substances has become an epidemic which is destroying lives and communities throughout the country. Rosemary Ofume, Donatus Iriele and others who operate pill mills in the Northern District of Georgia can expect to be investigated, prosecuted, and sent to prison in the same way as other drug traffickers who push poison in our communities.”

“These convictions have removed a huge tumor from the cancer that illicit drug distribution has become during our lifetime. The hard work invested in this case by all parties, from the U.S. Attorney’s office to the boots on the ground front-line drug agents and everyone in-between proves what dedication, persistence and cooperation can accomplish. It’s proof positive that just because you have a license to practice pharmacy, you aren’t entitled to put illicitly prescribed drugs on the street and contribute to the skyrocketing opioid addiction and overdose death rates. All health care professionals are on notice to remember: you are to do no harm. And if you intentionally ignore this charge, you are going to be treated the same as a street-corner drug dealer in this war on opioid abuse,” said Rick Allen, Director, Georgia Drugs & Narcotics Agency.

According to U.S. Attorney Horn, the charges and other information presented in court: In May 2009, agents of the DEA, working with agents for the IRS, began investigating the AMARC pain clinic, located in Atlanta, Georgia, and nearby Medicine Center Pharmacy, after receiving information that the clinic and pharmacy were illegitimately prescribing and dispensing pain pills to drug addicts and drug dealers.

The investigation revealed that Godfrey Ilonzo financed and operated at least eight clinics in the metro Atlanta area under the “AMARC” name, including the Lakewood pain clinic and one in Tyrone, Georgia. Bona Ilonzo (Godfrey Ilonzo’s wife) served as the office manager at the Lakewood AMARC pain clinic. At various times, Dr. Nevorn Askari and Dr. William Richardson served as the primary doctors for the AMARC pain clinics. Rosemary Ofume and Donatus Iriele operated the Medicine Center Pharmacy across the street from one of the pain clinics. Both Godfrey and Bona Ilonzo, as well as Drs. Askari and Richardson, previously pleaded guilty to charges related to their conduct at the clinic.

Ofume and Iriele worked together with the Ilonzos and Drs. Askari and Richardson to facilitate the dispensing of Oxycodone pills and other opiates to addicts and distributors. After customers received prescriptions from Askari and Richardson for medically inappropriate and potentially lethal combinations of opiates and other controlled substances, clinic staff told customers to fill their prescriptions across the street at “Rosemary’s pharmacy” (Medicine Center Pharmacy operated by Ofume and Iriele). Many of those customers traveled to the AMARC clinics and Ofume/Iriele’s pharmacy from counties throughout Georgia and from other states (including Alabama and Ohio).

Customers waited for hours at the Lakewood AMARC pain clinic and paid cash to receive prescriptions for Oxycodone or Hydrocodone, Xanax, and Soma (the “holy trinity” for resale on the street) before purchasing the pills at high prices from Ofume and Iriele’s pharmacy. Employees at the AMARC clinics and Ofume and Iriele’s pharmacy received discounts and special treatment, including free office visits and reduced prices for pills dispensed at the pharmacy. Ofume lied to pharmaceutical distributors in order to procure astronomical quantities of Oxycodone and other prescription pain pills that were then dispensed to customers having obvious signs of addiction or drug diversion. Significantly, in 2009, Medicine Center Pharmacy purchased eleven times more Oxycodone than the average pharmacy in the state of Georgia.

During the course of the conspiracy, Ofume and Iriele generated more than $5.1 million dollars from unlawful prescriptions issued by doctors affiliated with the AMARC clinics (constituting more than 90% of the pharmacy’s revenue). Iriele used pharmacy proceeds to purchase three luxury vehicles for his and Ofume’s personal use. Iriele and Ofume also laundered pharmacy proceeds by purchasing vehicles in the United States for individuals in Nigeria while concealing that those customers then deposited local Nigerian currency into Iriele’s own Nigerian bank account.

Previously, in 2007, the Georgia Board of Pharmacy revoked Iriele’s pharmacy licensed (and temporarily suspended Ofume’s pharmacy license) after finding that Ofume and Iriele had failed to account for more than 600,000 controlled substances pills at their pharmacies and had dispensed controlled substances pursuant to more than 1,400 forged prescriptions.

*Untold Story of how he acquired ‘Spiritual Powers’ from Umgeni River in Durban

BY REWANI LOVETH/REPORTER, DURBAN, SOUTH AFRICA

NIGERIAN POPULAR TELEVANGELIST, Pastor Omotoso, the General Overseer and Senior Prophet of Jesus Dominion International Church is in serious trouble presently over his alleged forcefully keeping 30 underage South African girls, including women who were trafficked from various branches of his church to his Umhlanga home in Umhlanga Rocks, Kwa- Zulu-Natal, where he has been sexually exploiting them for years.
Inside source in the church explained to our correspondent that Omotoso often threatened the girls and few women. He would always tell girls that if they refused to carry out his sexual orders to exorcise evil spirit of drugs from them, he would leave scars on their bodies being a celebrity, foreigner and millionaire, nothing would happen to him. To the women, he would threaten to place curses on them, instead of blessing if they disobey his sexual orders. Out of fear of disobeying a ‘man of God’ they easily obey. This continued for years until he was busted.
Her words: “Many women in Jesus Dominion International Church never liked Pastor Omotoso, because whenever we are having crusades, the ushers would always come in with the few names of underage girls and few women chosen by the prophet for spiritual training. These same girls and women are always giving permanent hotel rooms to stay overnight with an instruction that the ‘man of God’ would always like to reach out on or after the crusades to these members in case he has divine message for anyone of them.”
But some of these underage girls normally act weird, reclusive, and irascible whenever they were eventually released home by Omotoso. After much pressures by few of the parents of these girls on why they are acting so strange, a few of them confessed to their parents how the 58 year old Nigerian pastor has been constantly ravishing their bodies in sexual orgies. Pronto, the attention of South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) was sought. This was how SABC broke the news on the attrocities of Omotoso with chilling confession of the underage girls he sexually molested against their wish.
He is facing a string of sexual assault allegations will remain behind bars for two weeks. Omotoso appeared in court in Port Elizabeth on Friday following his arrest on Thursday. He is facing charges on human trafficking and sexual violence. He’s alleged to have molested and raped at least 30 young women who attended his church.
The National Prosecution Authority (NPA)’s Tshepo Ndwalaza said: “We can confirm as the NPA that indeed Pastor Omotoso has been remanded in custody until 3 May because he wants to apply for bail.” Ndwalaza says there are still a lot of hurdles to get through in the case.
Ndwalaza: “We can also confirm that this is not something that is going to happen quickly. We understand that there’s still a lot of investigation that needs to be done before we start prosecuting.”
This controversial man who claimed he was taught by the Lord to play the piano, the guitar, drums and other musical instruments before the age of 10 and served in the 80s as a music director for Ebenezer Obey’s Decross Band & Inter Reformers’ Band founded a 24-hour satellite TV station: Ancient of Days Broadcasting Network (ADBN), which airs across the Caribbean, Africa, Mexico, Middle East, Europe and United States. His weekly TV broadcast, ‘Just As I Am’, features music, sermons and miracle sessions and airs across various networks including Inspiration TV, METV and WHT’.
Omotoso has been arrested for allegedly raping and trafficking women and girls from his church. This Nigerian was arrested in a dramatic way at the Port Elizabeth Airport on Thursday when armed security personnel handcuffed him in a washroom at the airport.
South African police had laid wait for Omotoso’s arrival at Port Elizabeth, but he did not show up, a search hunt was conducted for him only to be discovered that he was hiding inside the women toilet for fear of arrest. At this point, he was picked up inside the women toilet and put on handcuffs by the police.
According to our investigation, a South African security spokesman Lieutenant- Colonel Robert Netshiunda said the preacher had been charged with human trafficking. “There is a possibility of us adding more charges,” Robert Netshiunda said.
Corroborating this view, Pamella Mbini, 37, said Omotoso had allegedly been abusing minor congregants as far back as 2002.
Her words: “They told us that their pastor is sleeping with them without their permission – they are scared to come out and say exactly what is happening.”
South African police arrested Omotosho few days after he was declared wanted for allegedly molesting young girls he groomed for sex.
The controversial clergyman had been accused by a television programme on South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) for luring young girls to his home and having sex with them, many of them teenagers. He was arrested as he arrived in Port Elizabeth airport and onlookers cheered as he was led away.
SABC3’s Special Assignment, Omotoso allegedly handpicked the girls and instructed them to live in his house where they were forced to have unprotected sex with him.The Police Spokesperson, Lt-Col Robert Netshiunda, said Omotoso had gone underground and all three cell phones linked to him had been deactivated.
The Nigerian pastor allegedly molested more than 30 young girls on the pretext of rescuing them from drugs.Some of the girls had reportedly dropped out of the University of KwaZulu-Natal, while others began travelling while singing for the pastor’s group, known as Simply Christolite.
Bishop Vusi Dube of the National Interfaith Council of South Africa said he had always had reservations about the way Omotoso conducted himself.
Dube said, “I challenge all honest Nigerian pastors to condemn this. If they don’t, there will be assumptions that they have no problem with this behaviour.”
Confession of victims
Yvonne Pulemi, a 15 year old girl who suffered sexual exploitation in the hands of Omotoso said: ‘Pastor Tim Omotoso said he wanted to exorcise evil spirit of drugs from me in Durban. Since I saw him like my father-figure, I could not disobey him. He placed my hands on his manhood in his room. He ordered me to suck his dick, I did as I was scared. He had sex with me multiple times.”
For Lauretta Kibaki, a 14 year old girl lament: “Prophet Omotoso flew me to Britain, France and Isreal crusades of his church severally. In his presidential hotel suites, he had sex with me for years, promised to take care of me. I am scared of my future honestly.”
The question on the lips of South Africans are: how did he get his spiritual powers of healing and raising the dead? Our investigation revealed that Omotoso allegedly acquired his spiritual powers from Mermaid in Umgeni River or Mgeni River. In Zulu: Mngeni; Afrikaans: Umgenirivier, river in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa which rises in the “Dargle” in the KZN midlands and its mouth is at Durban, which is some distance north of Durban’s natural harbour. The name is taken to mean place of the Acacia trees in Zulu.
It was gathered that Omotoso visited this river in the dead of the night after a year he had opened his South African church and there was no crowd by then. At this river which is approximately 232 kilometers (144 mi) long with a catchment area of 4,432 square kilometers (1,711 sq mi), Omotoso had met the Mermaid who allegedly instructed him to have a sexual intercourse with her, which he obeyed.
She (the Mermaid) assured him that his church will spread worldwide, he will be famous and very wealthy, and be performing ‘miracles’. His (Omotoso’s) supernatural powers will increase the more he sleeps with underage girls and women.
Omotoso allegedly continue in this path without looking back until his cup of abomination was full and running over, which led to his arrest, humiliation and disgrace in Christendom.
Finally, Omotosho had been charged for human trafficking and is in police custody until his next court appearance on May 3. He claimed to be married to Taiwo, and they are blessed with three children. Then what else is he looking for under ladies’ skirts or what satisfaction does he derive from raping of underage girls?

HE’S A NIGERIAN, UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANT living in Rhode Island, United States. Opeyemi Abdulahhi Orekan who arrived United States on a ‘Visiting Visa’ few years ago, deliberately failed to honor America’s Custom and Border Control’s (CBD) timeline of temporal stay in United States due to his criminal intent of duping innocent people. He was eventually arrested for stealing, deceiving unsuspecting Americans to the tune of over $100,000.
It was gathered that Opeyemi lives like a weird Don, driving expensive automobiles in the State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, a state in the New England region of the northeastern United States.
This suspect used nine different identities, including a number of passports from Nigeria, South Africa and Ghana, to open bank accounts at a number of bank branches including Bank of America, Webster Bank and Santander to deposit counterfeit checks and then withdraw bank funds.
The transactions occurred at a number of bank branches in Johnston, Lincoln, Pawtucket, Providence and Warwick. Painfully, bank of America reported nearly $37,000 in losses from at least one of the accounts and another $26,000 from another of Orekan’s accounts.
As confirmed by NBC News, this Nigerian also used fake identities to open accounts at TD Bank, Wells Fargo and Chase Bank.An agent of the Department of Homeland Security who arrested the Nigerian said, “Orekan has been engaged in lengthy pattern of fraud that has been perpetuated across at least 10 different financial institutions.”
Opeyemi was taken into custody on April 10 by Department of Homeland Security (DHS) agents who reveals that he was involved in an organized fraud ring that used fake Nigerian and Ghanaian passports and false identities to scam banks out of thousands of dollars. The federal government is charging him with bank fraud, passport fraud, identify fraud, and access device fraud, originally reported by affiliate NBC10’s Investigative Team.

According to DHS investigators, Orekan used nine different identities to open bank accounts at branches of Bank of America, Webster Bank, and Santander to deposit counterfeit checks and withdraw funds. Money was then sent to an individual in Nigeria. One account had a reported $37,000 in losses.
“Orekan has been engaged in lengthy pattern of fraud that has been perpetuated across at least 10 different financial institutions,” says Keith Holleran, a special agent with Homeland Security Investigations, in an affidavit filed in U.S. District Court in Providence. Assistant U.S. Attorney Lee Vilker told the court that investigators have found evidence including passports that were discovered in a ceiling crawl. A bag filled with passports was also found in an old, rolled-up carpet found by the property manager of one of the apartments where Orekan resided. The property manager reported the discovery to the FBI.
The judge denied Orekan’s request that he be released to his family members with electronic monitoring. For how long will few Nigerians be shaming and disgracing Nigeria’s reputation.

BY KANMI OYEKUNLE, Anti-graft Staff Writer, Abuja

NIGERIA’S secret police (DSS) constitutionally empowered to stop all forms of threats to the nation’s national security has come out fully to unveil Nigerian billionaire, Ifeanyi Ubah, the chairman of Capital Oil and Gas Limited as a THIEF who deliberately stole and hid a large volume of oil belonging to Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) secretly kept in his Lagos tank farm valued at a whooping sum of over N11Billion. He was also accused of inciting downstream sectors’ staff to downtool against the Federal government directives.
For this Tony Opuiyo, spokesman for DSS confirmed that Ubah, the oil mogul has been arrested by the Department of State Services.
According to Opuiyo, Ubah was arrested on Friday in connection with the theft of petrol kept by the NNPC in his tank farm in Lagos, a product valued at over N11 billion.
To DSS, Ubah’s action amounted to economic sabotage, with “capacity to negatively impact on national economy”. Additional reasons for Ubah’s arrest include his engagement in other activities inimical to national security and public order.
The statement reads: “In furtherance of his gimmicks to undermine the government and people of Nigeria, he has incited members of the Petroleum Tanker Drivers (PTD), a critical player in the downstream sub-sector of the Petroleum Industry, to refuse/stop the lifting of products.
“This is part of his plans to curry their sentiments and cause them to embark on strike and also stage protests in his favour with the ulterior motive of arm-twisting the NNPC to abandon the cause of recovering the stolen products. The implications of this on law and order is, in fact, a common knowledge. It is consequent upon this that the Service arrested and will prosecute him forthwith.
“The public is hereby reassured that the Service will collaborate with appropriate agencies to ensure that the mischievous activities of any person or group(s) to engage in illegal activities will not affect the effective distribution of products across the country. It will also support such agencies to bring to book individuals or companies involved in any criminal act that undermines the nation’s economy”.
The NNPC had on March 17 revealed that about 100 million litres stored at the Capital Oil & Gas depot and over 30 million litres in MRS Limited depot, all in Apapa area of Lagos, were not found when needed.
Henry Ikem-Obih, who is the COO for (Downstream) in NNPC had said the infraction by the two companies was a clear violation of existing contract which prohibited the firms from tampering with the volumes in their custody without express permission of the corporation.
Ikem-Obih said the companies were called to explain and given two options to either return the full volume of what was stored in their depots litre-for-litre or pay the full value of the products taken without approval.
To absolves themselves, NNPC alerted DSS, the Economic Financial Crime Commission (EFCC) and relevant committees of National Assembly with oversight function on the corporation’s downstream operation to help recover the assets.
Records show that the MRS paid for the 30 million litres vanished in its own depot. But Capital Oil and Gas insisted on reconciling its accounts with the NNPC.
Ubah’s reaction
Ubah reacted by describing the allegation of theft against his company as mischievous and misleading. For him, the NNPC failed to tell the public that it also owed Capital Oil billions of Naira from their mutual business transactions.
In Ubah’s word: “It is normal for parties in businesses to owe each other in business relationships and that if reconciliation is carried out with the NNPC, the firm will find out that there may be very little or nothing for Capital Oil to pay the corporation.”
A fall-out of the missing petrol was the sack in April by the NNPC management of Mrs. Esther Nnamdi-Ogbue, Managing Director, NNPC Retail Ltd; Mr. Alpha P. Mamza, Executive Director, Operations, NNPC Retail Ltd; and Mr. Oluwa Kayode Erinoso, Manager, Distribution, NNPC Retail Ltd.
The organisation then immediately appointed Mr. Adeyemi Adetunji, as the new Managing Director of NNPC Retail Ltd; Engr. Lawal Bello, Executive Director, Operations, NNPC Retail Ltd; Mrs. Affiong Akpasubi, Executive Director, Services, NNPC Retail Ltd; and Mr. Agwandas A. Andrawus, Manager, Distribution, NNPC Retail Ltd.

‘Nigerian Police Commissioner in Delta State, other officer Ndifreke Ntafiong alias IWOK behind KIDNAPPING of a Millionaire’s wife’-Festus Keyamo, fiery Lagos lawyer

…Petitions Inspector General of Police to take action
* Notorious for threatening prominent people in Sapele
* Collects Five Million Naira from victim’s family before release
*Conspiracy of DPO of Sapele Police Division and Commissioner of Police in Delta State

BY RICHARD OWUNIME/DEPUTY CRIME EDITOR in Delta State
SO SHOCKING that kidnapping and other forms of crimes may not abate or go away anytime soon in Africa’s most populous black nation, as a notorious Nigerian Police officer Ndifreke Ntafiong alias ‘Iwok’ has been identified as the ring leader of the criminal body that is taking people unlawfully hostage against their wish especially in Delta state.
Sadly, Ntafiong did not plan and execute the kidnap alone, but was fully supported by the Commissioner of Police in Delta, Ibrahim Zanna and the DPO in Sapele Division to carry out an the illegal order, engaged in arms-twisting tactics purposely to fleece his group’s kidnapped persons.
According to a press statement released by Festus Keyamo and addressed to Nigeria’s Inspector General of Police few minutes ago, the human rights lawyer detailed that: “On the 22nd March, 2017, the wife of one Prince Ovwighodua Odebala, a businessman (whom we represent as solicitors) was kidnapped at Sapele, Delta State. Shortly before this incident, Prince Odebala was contacted by one Mr. Ndifreke Ntafiong (a police officer) who forwarded his wife’s account number and demanded for a sum of N1,000,000.00 (One Million Naira) to be paid to him through that account.

This particular officer is notorious in that Division for demanding monies with threats from prominent people in that area. The officer forwarded the wife’s account number using phone number 08035090466. The account details are: Ann Onokurhefe, 0047238018, GTBank.
“Prince Odebala told him there was no reason to part with such a sum and the police officer told him clearly that if anything happened to him or members of his family in Sapele, he would be on his own. It was three days later that the wife of Prince Odebala was kidnapped.
“The kidnappers kept Prince Odebala’s wife from 22nd March, 2017 till 31st March, 2017 when she was eventually released after payment of a ransom of N5,000,000.00 (Five Million Naira). However, the initial sum demanded was N40,000,000.00 (Forty Million Naira) before it was later reduced.
“Whilst in the kidnappers’ den, the kidnappers informed our client’s wife that her husband has so much money that he even bought phones for his girlfriends. They mentioned the dates of the purchases. Incidentally, these are facts known only to one Joel Enajiro who was close confidant of Prince Odebala. It was then that our client suspected that Mr. Joel Enajiro (who was with him when he bought the said phone) was a party to the plot along with the police officer who threatened him.
“That when our client reported the issue of the kidnapping of his wife to the DPO of Sapele Police Division, the officer swiftly acted and took him to the Commissioner of Police, Delta State. Upon narrating the incident to the Commissioner of Police, the Commissioner called Mr. Ndifreke Ntafiong (also known as Iwok) and simply asked him to go and release our client’s wife. Our client was amazed that even the Commissioner knew the involvement of this police officer in this crime but could treat such a serious matter with kid’s glove. Mr. Ndifreke Ntafiong was detained shortly and thereafter released. He then informed Prince Odebala to go and withdraw the complaint against him before his wife would be released. Prince Odebala declined to withdraw the complaint.
“However, it was shortly after the release of Mr. Ndifreke Ntafiong, that the kidnappers called to reduce the ransom to the sum of N5,000,000.00 (Five Million Naira) which was eventually paid.
“When our client’s wife was eventually released, our client reported the matter to the Police and one Mr. Vincent (a police officer) in the IGP IRT Unit in SARS Abuja was assigned to track down the kidnappers. Mr. Vincent then collected all the numbers of persons who were suspected to be involved in the kidnapping of our client’s wife. Consequently, he told our client that he was able to track all of them and he knows them. Two people, to whom those numbers were traced, were later arrested (Mr. David Adogbeji and Mr. Joel Enajiro). But they have since been surreptitiously released with connivance of the Police Officers. The lives of Mr. Odebala and his wife are now in danger as her captors are now roaming free again with the connivance of the Police.
“It is in the light of the above that we write to express our client’s reservation on the mode of investigation being carried out by the police thus far. We hereby request that a fresh investigation be ordered into this incident directly from your office to forestall any cover-up.”

PRESS STATEMENT
3rd May, 2017

The Inspector-General of Police,
Louis Edet House,
Central Business District,
Abuja.

Dear Sir,

OPEN LETTER TO THE INSPECTOR-GENERAL OF POLICE ON COMPLICITY OF YOUR MEN IN A CASE OF KIDNAPPING

On the 22nd March, 2017, the wife of one Prince Ovwighodua Odebala, a businessman (whom we represent as solicitors) was kidnapped at Sapele, Delta State. Shortly before this incident, Prince Odebala was contacted by one Mr. Ndifreke Ntafiong (a police officer) who forwarded his wife’s account number and demanded for a sum of N1,000,000.00 (One Million Naira) to be paid to him through that account. This particular officer is notorious in that Division for demanding monies with threats from prominent people in that area. The officer forwarded the wife’s account number using phone number 08035090466. The account details are: Ann Onokurhefe, 0047238018, GTBank.
Prince Odebala told him there was no reason to part with such a sum and the police officer told him clearly that if anything happened to him or members of his family in Sapele, he would be on his own. It was three days later that the wife of Prince Odebala was kidnapped.

The kidnappers kept Prince Odebala’s wife from 22nd March, 2017 till 31st March, 2017 when she was eventually released after payment of a ransom of N5,000,000.00 (Five Million Naira). However, the initial sum demanded was N40,000,000.00 (Forty Million Naira) before it was later reduced.
Whilst in the kidnappers’ den, the kidnappers informed our client’s wife that her husband has so much money that he even bought phones for his girlfriends. They mentioned the dates of the purchases. Incidentally, these are facts known only to one Joel Enajiro who was close confidant of Prince Odebala. It was then that our client suspected that Mr. Joel Enajiro (who was with him when he bought the said phone) was a party to the plot along with the police officer who threatened him.

That when our client reported the issue of the kidnaping of his wife to the DPO of Sapele Police Division, the officer swiftly acted and took him to the Commissioner of Police, Delta State. Upon narrating the incident to the Commissioner of Police, the Commissioner called Mr. Ndifreke Ntafiong (also known as Iwok) and simply asked him to go and release our client’s wife. Our client was amazed that even the Commissioner knew the involvement of this police officer in this crime but could treat such a serious matter with kid’s glove. Mr. Ndifreke Ntafiong was detained shortly and thereafter released. He then informed Prince Odebala to go and withdraw the complaint against him before his wife would be released. Prince Odebala declined to withdraw the complaint.

However, it was shortly after the release of Mr. Ndifreke Ntafiong, that the kidnappers called to reduce the ransom to the sum of N5,000,000.00 (Five Million Naira) which was eventually paid.

When our client’s wife was eventually released, our client reported the matter to the Police and one Mr. Vincent (a police officer) in the IGP IRT Unit in SARS Abuja was assigned to track down the kidnappers. Mr. Vincent then collected all the numbers of persons who were suspected to be involved in the kidnapping of our client’s wife. Consequently, he told our client that he was able to track all of them and he knows them. Two people, to whom those numbers were traced, were later arrested (Mr. David Adogbeji and Mr. Joel Enajiro). But they have since been surreptitiously released with connivance of the Police Officers. The lives of Mr. Odebala and his wife are now in danger as her captors are now roaming free again with the connivance of the Police.

It is in the light of the above that we write to express our client’s reservation on the mode of investigation being carried out by the police thus far. We hereby request that a fresh investigation be ordered into this incident directly from your office to forestall any cover-up.

Thank you.
Yours Sincerely,
For: Festus Keyamo Chambers

Nigerian Pastor, Oluwadayomisi Epenusi shot 15 Times in Indianapolis…Struggles his PURSE with Assailant at an apartment complex

BY GEORGE ELIJAH OTUMU/FOREIGN BUREAU CHIEF, UNITED STATES
HE WAS FULL OF BLOODSHED, SHOT 15 TIMES by unknown assailant in Indianapolis, capital of Indiana and got life expunged out of him through the violent attack that happened to this Nigerian pastor Oluwadayomisi Epenusi about 48 hours ago. He was killed at an apartment complex near 10th Street and I-465 on the city’s west side.
This 66 year old Nigerian pastor, easy-going, who would always attend church service, go to work and return home struggled to hold unto his purse against the repeated threats by the fugitive assailant to release his purse to him, thinking there was money in his purse.
Sources tell our correspondent that Epenusi did not let go of his purse since it contained his Photo driver’s license Identification, credit cards and apartment’s house keys.
It was gathered that his wife and children in Nigeria had been crying unstoppable since the sad news hit them that their benefactor already in America who had promised to work hard and helped them come to United States had been murdered close to his aprtment complex.
Also, friends and neighbors confirmed that Epenusi had only recently moved to Indiana from Nigeria where he worked as a pastor. A neighbors, Kristina Teague says they heard a series of gunshots early Saturday morning. She says: “I heard about 15 gunshots. It was nuts. It’s really sad because he was here sending money to his family.”
Teague called 911, but by the time police arrived the victim had run back to his apartment and a roommate then drove the bleeding man to Eskenazi Hospital where the 66-year-old died, unable to explain to his roommate what led up to the shooting.
The deceased roomnate, Moshood Kafaru who moved to the United States from Nigeria, as did the victim said “When Epenusi was on the way I asked him what happened and why he got shot, but the man couldn’t say nothing because he was still in pain.
Kafaru said: “He was just a nice person who would go to work and come home and go to church. He didn’t talk to nobody. He never bothered nobody. He was holding a purse. He refused to let it go. They thought he had money in the purse, but he didn’t want to let it go.”
Police don’t know for sure, but Kafaru believes the violence started as a robbery. A large group of Nigerians live in the apartment complex and those that knew Epenusi say he had been working hard to help his kids to move to the United States.
According to Kafaru: “They just got a visa. That why he was working, so his family can come over here. He was just an innocent man and it just upsets me that he’s gone just like that.”
Police in Indianapolis, capital of Indiana in the United States have launched a manhunt for the killer of a Nigerian pastor, Oluwadayomisi Epenusi, the 66 year old Nigerian who was shot to death at the weekend at an apartment complex near 10th Street and I-465 on the city’s west side.
Police have asked people with information to contact Crime Stoppers at 317-262-TIPS.

DEVELOPING STORY:
’90 Nigerians that Possess FAKE Documents, Expired Visa Deported from our country’-South African Government
* Involved in various Immigration violations
* ‘Most all-male deportees were living in South Africa without valid documents’-DSP Joseph Alabi, Lagos Airport Police spokesperson

BY ISHIOMA KELVIN, CONTRIBUTOR, JOHANNESBURG
SOUTH AFRICAN GOVERNMENT has embarked on a clean sweep of authenticating the residence validity of so many Nigerians presently in the country, to be certain that only people lawfully allowed to be in their country stays, while other undocumented Nigerians are made to face deportation.
Few days ago, 90 Nigerians were deported from South Africa for sundry immigration offences. Precisely last week Friday, for committing immigration-related offences, these Nigerians were forcefully put on plane as deportees.
The 90 deportees were dropped off from Johannesburg by a South African Airways flight at the Murtala Muhammed Airport in Lagos, the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) confirms.
Confirming these development, spokesperson for Lagos Airport Police command, DSP Joseph Alabi reportedly said that most of the all-male deportees were living in South Africa without valid documents.
For the records, this is the second mass deportation after a February 28 exercise when 97 Nigerians including two females were deported from South Africa.
Truth is, there is a growing number of Nigerian communities in South Africa. Some of them have suffered a series of xenophobic attacks in parts of Johannesburg and Pretoria since 2008.
For these attackers, they blame the Nigerians and other African nationals of involving in criminal activities in the country. Some others argue that mass deportation of Africans within the continent is rare.
So far, 258 Nigerians returned home from crisis-hit Libya as part of a voluntary repatriation exercise facilitated by the Nigerian government and the International Organisation for Migration (IOM). 253 migrants had been repatriated earlier in April.

HE’S 32 YEARS OLD Nigerian with criminal behaviors, attitude, desperate to live on the fast lane- ‘get-rich-quick’, all in a bid to fake a lifestyle of a super rich big boy. The various kinds of businesses Kelechi Declan James engage in New York are all fraudulent, as he has no single lawful source of income, but criminality.
James drive big cars, attend night clubs and party in New York, drinking expensive wines as if alcohol is running out of town, ably surrounded by ladies who are oblivious of his source of income.
According to the press statement issued by Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), James and his co-conspirators earn their living by defrauding innocent victims across the United States. They (James and criminal gangs) trick Americans into wiring money to bank accounts the victims (Americans) believed were owned by family members, friends, or business associates.
“As part of scheme, James and his co-conspirators defrauded victims across the U.S. by tricking them into wiring money to bank accounts the victims believed were owned by family members, friends, or business associates,” the FBI said in a statement last week.
This statement reads: “FBI agents are looking for the public’s assistance in locating Kelechi Declan James. He has federal criminal charges against him from an investigation by FBI New York’s Cyber Crime Task Force. James is known to frequent the Brooklyn neighborhoods of East New York (Crescent Street and Loring Avenue; Vermont Street between Blake Avenue and Dumont Avenue), Brownsville, Bedford-Stuyvesant (MacDougal and Hull Streets), Crown Heights (Park Place and Utica Avenue), Flatbush (E 29th and Avenue D), and East Flatbush (East 51st and Winthrop Street). The FBI is offering a $1,000 reward for information that leads to his arrest.

Anyone with information as to the whereabouts of James is urged to contact law enforcement immediately. The FBI can be reached 24 hours a day at (212) 384-1000. He is not considered to be violent in nature.
“As alleged in a complaint sworn out of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, James, along with four other co-conspirators, ran a business e-mail compromise scheme that resulted victim losses of more than $5 million for their victims.
“As part of scheme, James and his co-conspirators defrauded victims across the U.S. by tricking them into wiring money to bank accounts the victims believed were owned by family members, friends, or business associates. They did this in two ways: by overtaking an e-mail account of an individual trusted by the victim and then requesting money be wired to a bank account; or by developing a relationship of trust with victim like an Internet romance and then asking the victim to wire money. As soon as the money was wired, it would be moved from one account to another, and the funds would be withdrawn. James’s role in this scheme was to withdraw the money from bank accounts.”
